my haulmark trailer is z-channel. I was afraid when I was cutting out supports it would buckle... but it didnt. With my narrow trailer i cant sleep from side wall to side wall - If I could it would give me lots more room.... I am getting ready to cut the wall a make a tip out for my feet. Or if I could buy a tip out bed this would be great. I cant find anyone who sells them....

That would work.... make two metal rings to encircle the entire inside walls.... bolt them to the inside wall... cut between the rings... I was thinking of also chopping the top on mine to give me less wind resistance (crank down and pop up)

I like the idea of the cargo trailer conversion - using it as a bike hauler and then pseudo camper. Here's what I want and why: I really want a rolltop (like HTCA's Haulmark) so that I can cut the entire roof off where the bend begins and build a poptop mechanism that raises and lowers the whole shooting match maybe 1-2 feet with a screen and canvas surround like any other poptop. I really don't want it for headroom - I want it for a sleeping platform so that I don't have to sleep in the cargo box with all the gas and oil that will end up on the floor from dragging around bikes and other dirty crap. My intention is to completely isolate the sleeping platform from the box save an access hatch from the interior.

So here's the question for those that have owned cargo trailers: Do you think that the uprights can be cut like I'm thinking about? Anyone ever seen or attempted such a task??

I've gone through all of the sites I could think of and nothing like what I've described...

I recently put up for sale thinking about upgrading to a 7x14....but I love this trailer!
110volt outlet, solar vent, crank out windows x2, camper door (wish it had a rear ramp door instead of barn doors) and Rotopax

Nothing special inside, I just use the Camo-Cot bunk beds when camping. It's warm and dry.

If I wind up keeping it, I'm thinking of insulating and finishing the interior.

Happy Camping.

just looking into this again.... the bed is 48" wide requires a 64" wall stud...I am 4" too short(60" for me)... again I cant measure up...
